A method and apparatus for dynamically modifying search results “on the fly” based on the behavior of the user currently conducting a search. In one embodiment, data regarding user behavior is gathered from virtually any activity, including clicks on links, dwell times, downloads, transactions and cursor movements. Subordinate keywords are generated to reflect the intent of the user as inferred from the user's behavior. Subordinate keywords, as opposed to traditional primary keywords, are keywords that are identified as important to the search, but are not necessarily essential for a matched document. They are automatically generated by the system from a variety of places, such as documents clicked on by the user as well as documents that are skipped. The system uses the subordinate keywords to dynamically re-rank matched documents and advertisements to best reflect the inferred intent of the user in order to continuously provide the most relevant results.

The existing protocol stack software continues to process all events associated with connections initiated before the new protocol stack software was activated, and the new protocol stack software processes all events associated with connections initiated after the new protocol stack software was activated. The existing protocol stack software, upon completion of all connections initiated before the new protocol stack software was activated, is removed, services provided to the telephony resources being substantially uninterrupted by the modification.

An information system engages in communications session with a client to process a workflow. A context object stores information describing the session. Transfer objects store data utilized to process the workflow. A client action causes inbound data to be received by the information system. The inbound data is transformed into an internal representation required for the workflow based upon a stored transformation definition. The workflow engine processes actions in the workflow utilizing the transfer objects which results in output data. The information system includes a filtering module that filters the output data to a subset of output data that is received by a data conversion module. The data conversion module converts the subset of output data from the internal representation into outbound data having a format utilized by the client. The database of transformation definitions is located separately from the data conversion module such that the transformation definitions can be modified during operation of the computerized system.
